01:31:26Panoply MedianoPatrick Collison is the 28-year-old CEO of Stripe, the online payments company that was just valued at $9 billion.
Haven't heard of Stripe? You've probably used it. Last year, 40 percent of people who bought something online used Stripe's payment systems. The company has become an integral part of the internet's financial plumbing. And Collison has become one of Silicon Valley's leading light — he made the cover of Forbes last year, where one venture capitalist described him as "the LeBron James of entrepreneurs."
Collison is also one of the few people I've met who is a genuine polymath. He seems to know everything about everything, and his recall — particularly his ability to live-footnote his own comments — is something to behold. We talk about how he and his brother conceived of, and launched, Stripe, and then we go much deeper. Among the topics we discussed:
-Why there was a market opportunity for Stripe in a world that had PayPal
-Why people are often wrong when they look at a market and think an incumbent has dominated it
-What he thinks is untrue about the stereotypes of how Silicon Valley handles regulation
-How we might be able to tell whether a buildup of regulations are preventing new companies from emerging
-Why jobs like home healthcare and childcare are becoming tension points in our national immigration discussion
-The difference in the way politicians and tech leaders approach problem-solving
-How he tries to shape culture within his company to help it become, in his words, more like itself
-What he admires about CEOs like Jeff Bezos and Jim Simons
-The culture of “"rationalist” bloggers, and why he reads them
-How we underestimate the importance of the Enlightenment period

01:30:32Panoply MedianoJose Andres isn't just a chef. He's a force. All that talk of how DC is now a hot dining scene? Andrés deserves more than a bit of the credit. He's popularized Spanish tapas through Jaleo, brought El Bulli-style molecular gastronomy to America through MiniBar, and racked up some Michelin stars and James Beard awards along the way.
Andrés has hosted television shows, taught courses on the science of cooking at Harvard, extended his restaurant empire to Las Vegas and South Beach, set up a nonprofit in Haiti, and launched a fast-casual chain focused on vegetables. He's been named "Man of the Year" by GQ and one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time.
I've know Andrés for a couple of years, and I've never met a better storyteller, or seen anyone who thinks harder about the component parts of creativity. We talk about that, as well as:
-What Andrés learned from his father
-Why the most important job when making paella is tending the fire
-Why cooking at home is important but not essential
-What he makes of Americans eating out of the house more than ever before
-Why we need to be pragmatic about sourcing food
-How he applies what he learned in the Spanish navy to his restaurants
-What he learned from Ferran Adrià, the founder of molecular gastronomy
-How he takes ideas from other disciplines and applies them in his kitchens
-How important hiring is to him and why immigration policy is so crucial to the American restaurant business
-Why his fast-casual restaurants called Beefsteak are nearly meatless
-How he's managed to run an empire while remaining focused on the creative side
-What he thinks we might lose by eating synthetic food or silent
-The one dish he thinks people should learn to cook

01:03:10Panoply MedianoThere are few episodes of this show that people loved as much as my conversation with Heather McGhee, president of the think tank Demos. Our first discussion focused on race, class, populism, and the sometimes toxic ways the three interact. It's a topic I wanted to revisit in the aftermath of Trump's election, and so I asked Heather back to the show. After this conversation, I'm very, very glad I did. Among other things, we discussed:
-The three factors that explain the election results
-Why race is a more complex force in politics than either liberals or conservatives assume
-The dangers of Democrats convincing themselves that populism and racial justice are either/or
-Her experience talking with a white man who realized he was prejudiced, and asked her help in changing
-Why Clinton lost states Obama won
-Why Clinton didn't outperform Obama among nonwhite voters
-Why the core of modern racism is seeing some races as made of individuals and others as collectives
-Whether the very language around race and racism makes empathy more difficult
-How Democrats should think about cooperating — and not cooperating — with Trump
And, as always, much more. Heather is brilliant on these topics, and this is worth listening to.

01:07:28Panoply MedianoWhy did Hillary Clinton lose the election? Why did Donald Trump win it? And why was the polling so completely wrong?
No one digs deeper into the demographics, polls, and trends of modern American politics than the Atlantic's Ron Brownstein. Though he didn't predict Trump's win, his pre-election writing explained exactly how it could — and eventually did — happen. And it's a more complicated story than you've heard.
In the week since the election, much has been made of Trump's strength among white working class voters — and properly so, as they were core to his victory. But the white working class wasn't the primary cause of Clinton's loss. Her real problem were groups that didn't turn out for her in the numbers her campaign expected — college-educated whites, African-Americans, and millennials. And that suggests a very different future for the Democrats.
In this conversation, Brownstein goes through the math of the election in detail. We also talk about:
-What Clinton’s campaign assumed, wrongly, about winning the middle of the country.
-The two quotes that Brownstein thinks explain the entire election
-How much James Comey influenced the election’s outcome
-Why Trump was able to win the support of voters who thought him unqualified
-What might have happened if Democrats had chosen Bernie Sanders as their nominee.
-Whether the next Democratic nominee should be focused on winning back working-class whites or energizing the Obama coalition
-The worrying signs the Republican Party will see if it compares Trump's win to Reagan's wins
-Why Brownstein sees Trump as a political independent candidate who happened to run under the Republican banner (and why Ezra disagrees)
-What will be hard and easy for a Trump administration to do while working with a Republican Congress.
And much more. There's a lot of confusion about this election. Brownstein is here to clear it up.Why did Hillary Clinton lose the election? Why di…Why did Hillary Clinton lose the election? Why did Donald Trump win it? And why was the polling so completely wrong?

01:35:25Panoply MedianoWe’re bringing the Ezra Klein Show to you a little early this week because, well, there's an election coming in a few days. And we wanted to talk about it.
The 2016 election is the product of profound failures on the part of different institutions in American life: the Republican Party, the media, the financial system. And few have tracked those failures as clearly, or closely, as David Frum.
Frum is Canadian by birth — a perspective, he says, that helps him see American politics as the product of institutions, rather than just personalities. Since moving to the US in the 80s and finding himself inspired by Ronald Reagan, he's chronicled and commentated on conservatism in America. His book, Dead Right, is one of the key documents for understanding the Republican Party of the 1990s. He then did a stint as speechwriter in George W. Bush's White House, where he wrote the famous "Axis of Evil" line in Bush's 2002 State of the Union. More recently, he's written for the Atlantic, where he's been unsparing — and largely proven right — in his assessment of the Republican Party's institutional collapse.
This conversation is an exploration of what has happened to the Republican Party — what it was, what it's become, and why. We talk about:
-Why journalists need to account for governing institutions before turning to cultural explanations
-How he thinks diversity and inequality are linked
-How Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump differ
-What he learned about inequality while working for the Wall Street Journal editorial page
-The best-titled speech Newt Gingrich probably ever gave
-His critique of the 1994 Republican Revolution and Newt Gingrich’s consolidation of the Speaker’s power
-How Fox News and conservative talk radio echo chamber have harmed the Republican Party
-The apocalyptic attitude conservatives rely on while campaigning
-Why Trump was so successful running against the Bush family legacy
-The role white nationalism plays in Trump's rise (This is an argument I found particularly valuable)
-How Canada avoided the nationalist backlash that plagues the US
-His best and worst-case scenarios for a Hillary Clinton presidency

01:33:49Panoply MedianoTo understand the 2012 election, you had to ask a political scientist. To understand the 2016 election, you need to call a linguist.
At least, I did. Deborah Tannen is a Georgetown University linguist who's done pioneering work in how men and women's communication styles differ. Her book You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation, was on the New York Times best seller list for nearly four years, including eight months as number one. But I got to know her earlier this year, as part of a reporting project to understand Hillary Clinton's leadership style, and the ways in which it's lost — and even a liability — on the campaign trail.
Tannen's work has helped me understand not just Clinton and Trump's communication styles, but my own — her analysis of how men and women communication at home, and in the workplace, is useful no matter who you are. This episode, more than any other I've done, is full of practical insight into situations we all face daily. Among our topics:
-How she became a linguist
-Why everyone in her doctoral program was recording the conversations at dinner parties
-The ways in which linguistics can solve the same problems as psychology
-How cultural attitudes about interruptions and silence lead to miscommunication and frustration (I found this one *very* relevant)
-The debate over African-American Vernacular English, and the crucial research that both powered it, and has been forgotten about it
-The components of what she calls “conversational style” and how they vary depending on who you are
-How gender roles can create conflict within relationships, even just in end-of-the-day check-ins with your partner
-Why women are perceived to speak more than men, even when they're speaking less
-How gendered forms of communication have changed perceptions of Hillary Clinton
-Why she tries to never use the word "sexism" when discussing evaluations of Clinton and other female politicians
-How expectations of good leadership are caught up in gendered ideas of what leaders look and sound like

01:10:08Panoply MedianoThis week’s guest is a Nobel Prize winner. We like to sprinkle those in every so often.
Joseph Stiglitz revolutionized how economists understood market failures (hence that prize), served as chief economist at The World Bank, led the Council of Economic Advisers under Bill Clinton, has written more great books and articles than I can count, and now leads The Roosevelt Institute. He's a pretty smart guy.
Markets, Stiglitz argues, are man-made, and we need to make them a lot better. We often treat markets as natural phenomena, but they have rules, their rules create some winners and some losers, and, crucially, those rules can be changed. How to change those rules, and which rules to change, is where Stiglitz's recent work has focused — work that is known to have caught the eye of Hillary Clinton — and we talk about it at length, as well as:
-Why he became an economist
-The nature of the work that won him the Nobel prize
-His basic explanation of “information asymmetry,” the term for which he’s probably most famous
-His time as the chair of the Council of Economic Advisors
-The unintended consequences that can come from rewriting economic rules, even when it's being done with good intentions
-Why we can’t use NAFTA to try to understand the Trans-Pacific Partnership
-What a good trade deal would look like in this day and age
-The difference between Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s economic priorities
-Who he’d like to see working at the Treasury Department and on the National Economic Council in the future
-What he thinks about a Universal Basic Income
-What he learned from the economic failings of Venezuela and Greece
The arguments you hear in this podcast are very likely to be things a Clinton administration will be thinking about as it tries to craft a post-Obama economic agenda. So there's a lot worth mulling over here.This week’s guest is a Nobel Prize winner. We lik…This week’s guest is a Nobel Prize winner. We like to sprinkle those in every so often.

01:07:30Panoply MedianoFrancis Fukuyama is a political scientist, a public intellectual, and progenitor of the famed "End of History" thesis. But his recent work is his most important yet. Over two volumes, he's been studying how societies become safe, pluralistic liberal democracies — and then how those advanced democracies descend, and decay, into chaos.
Sound familiar?
This is a scary conversation that comes at just the right time. We discussed:
-How American became a “vetocracy”
-Why the representative democracy we have has calcified
-Why the internet may be overwhelming our ability for government agencies to deal efficiently with public comment
-What he thinks is stoking Trump supporters in the way we talk about diversity and pluralism
-Why conversations about class are important
-What he thinks about different models of government around the world, especially Denmark’s
-How we overcompensate for what we’ve learned through past wars
-How polarization is disrupting the way the public views government agencies like the Fed and NOAA
-What he's learned from Samuel Huntington, from the Iraq War, and from the Black Lives Matter movement
-What an agenda to reverse America's political decay would look like

01:08:51Panoply MedianoThis election season has left pretty much everything I thought I knew about politics in doubt. Both parties nominated unpopular candidates, even when they had popular alternatives. One party's nominee isn't really running any ads, and has barely bothered to build a field operation. The same party's nominee says things on a regular basis that would've been — or would've been thought to be — disqualifying in any other year.
So it's been weird.
One of the best chroniclers of that weirdness has been the Atlantic's Molly Ball. In the latest edition of the magazine, she has a fantastic piece looking at whether Trump's candidacy is proving that most of what's done by campaigns — the ads, the microtargeting, the message-crafting, etc — is just a waste of money. We talk about that, as well as:
-Whether there's actually a floor in American politics — if even Trump is remaining competitive, does that mean basically anyone can get 45 percent of the vote?
-How Hillary Clinton’s experience within the political system has come hurt her in some ways
-Whether we've been fooling ourselves by thinking elections are about policy rather than identity
-The difference between Pat Buchanan in the 90s and Trump now
-Why some voters are rooting for Trump even if they’re not always screwed by the economy in the way you might think
-How current demographic trends are bearing out the anxieties of older white men
-What might come after Trump for the GOP, and whether a candidate like him could be replicated in other races
-Why high-information voters, especially educated Republican women, are often still undecided
-What the liberalism of millennials coupled with the unpopularity of the major parties means for the future of politics in the US
-Why Hillary Clinton has so much trouble ginning up enthusiasm among her base
-What Molly's learned about human nature after doing a ton of reporting on this presidential campaign cycle
This really is the best conversation I’ve had with anyone about the election yet. Enjoy!

01:36:34Panoply MedianoThere are a couple of ideas that drive how I see policy and politics. One of them is that most of what drives health outcomes has nothing to do with what happens in doctor's offices. Another is that we overestimate the importance of the president national politics and underestimate the important of city officials and local politics.
Dr. Leana Wen — and this episode — stands at the intersection of those two ideas.
Wen is the Baltimore City Health Commissioner — a job she got when she was only 31, after a stint as an ER doctor, and a background as a Rhodes Scholar and medical activist. Her work in Baltimore coincided with the aftermath of Freddy Gray's killing, a brutal opioid epidemic, and a renewed focus on urban health disparities (there are counties in Baltimore that have higher infant mortality than the West Bank).
In this conversation, we talk about all that and more. Here's some of the more:
-Why her family moved to Utah after leaving China after the Tiananmen Square protests
-Whether America's culture of sharing problems and working through pain is actually healthy
-How she learned to deal with a serious speech impediment (and how I did)
-What it was like growing up in Compton in the early 90s
-How Bill Clinton’s autobiography changed her life
-What motivated her to become a doctor
-How she squares her idea of herself as an activist with being a government official
-The unexpected process by which you get a job like Baltimore City Health Commissioner
-How the medical community’s understanding of pain has changed, and how that led to the opioid crisis
-The misunderstandings of outdated ideas that have made the opioid crisis so much worse
-Why she prescribed a drug to treat heroin overdoses to everyone — yes, everyone — in Baltimore
-Her thoughts on the paradox of Baltimore’s great health institutions and its huge health disparities
-What disturbs her about the patterns that lead up to infant mortality
I particularly want to call out Wen's discussion of the opioid crisis, and what needs to be done about it. It's one of the clearest and most impassioned tours through that epidemic I've heard, and it's worth listening to this conversation just for that.

00:55:43Panoply MedianoI’ve been reading sociologist Arlie Hochschild’s writing for about a decade now. Her immersive projects have revolutionized how we understand labor, gender equity, and work-life balance. But her latest book, Strangers In Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right, is something new: she spent five years among tea party supporters in Louisiana, trying to bridge the deepest divide in American politics. It was, she says, an effort to scale the "empathy wall," to create an understanding of how politics feels to people whose experiences felt alien to her. In this conversation, we discuss:
-How she approaches immersive sociology
-The kinds of questions she asks people in order to get them to open up about their political feelings
-What it takes to “turn off your alarm system” when you encounter oppositional ideas
-What she describes as the “deep story” that explains how conservative Americans, particularly older white men, feel increasingly looked down on
-Why she feels empathy on the part of people who disagree is an important part of creating dialogue
-Whether empathy and respect are in tension with each other
-Why many white men don't feel they're part of a privileged group
-What she thought of Clinton's comments that half of Trump's supporters are a "basket of deplorables"
And much more. This is a time when listening and empathy are in shorter supply than ever, at least in American politics. It's well worth listening to Hochschild's advice on how to bring both back.

It was, she says, an effort to scale the "empathy wall," to create an understanding of how politics feels to people whose experiences felt alien to her. In this conversation, we discuss:
-How she approaches immersive sociology
-The kinds of questions she asks people in order to get them to open up about their political feelings
-What it takes to “turn off your alarm system” when you encounter oppositional ideas
-What she describes as the “deep story” that explains how conservative Americans, particularly older white men, feel increasingly looked down on
-Why she feels empathy on the part of people who disagree is an important part of creating dialogue
-Whether empathy and respect are in tension with each other
-Why many white men don't feel they're part of a privileged group
-What she thought of Clinton's comments that half of Trump's supporters are a "basket of deplorables"
And much more. This is a time when listening and empathy are in shorter supply than ever, at least in American politics. It's well worth listening to Hochschild's advice on how to bring both back.

01:31:22Panoply MedianoIf you came by the Vox office, you would find it oddly quiet. That's not because we don't like each other, or because we're not social, or because we don't have anything to say. It's because almost all our communication happens silently, digitally, in Slack.
Slack is Stewart Butterfield's creation, and it's the fastest-growing piece on enterprise software in history. But here's the kicker: he didn't mean to create it, just like he didn't mean to create Flickr before it. In both cases, Butterfield was trying to create a new kind of game: immersive, endless, and focused on experiences rather than victories.
The story of Butterfield's pivots from the game to Flickr and Slack have become Silicon Valley lore. But in this conversation, we go deep into the part that's always fascinated me: the game Butterfield wanted to create, the reasons he thinks gaming is so important, and the ways in which his philosophy background informs his current work. We also talk a lot about the nature of status, identity, and communication in online spaces, as Butterfield's company is now revolutionizing all three.
This is a deep, interesting, and unusual conversation — we went places I didn't expect, and I left thinking about topics I'd never really considered.

01:30:30Panoply MedianoMalcolm Gladwell needs no introduction (though if you didn't know the famed author has launched a podcast, you should — it's called Revisionist History, and it's great.).
Gladwell's work has become so iconic, so known, that it's become easy to take it for granted. But Gladwell is perhaps the greatest contrarian journalist of his generation — he looks at things you've seen before, comes to conclusions that are often the opposite of the conventional wisdom, and then leaves you wondering how you could ever have missed what he saw. To see something new in something old is a talent, and it's a process, and it's what we discuss, in a dozen different ways, in this episode. Among the topics we tough:
-How Gladwell got started at the Washington Post after being fired from another job for waking up late
-Gladwell’s high school zine based on personal attacks and Bill Buckley
-How Canadians are disinclined to escalate conflicts
-The value and nature of boredom in childhood
-How people reflexively pile on to convenient narratives
-How the economics of media might be influencing its current tone
-Why pickup trucks today are so much larger than they used to be
-His insights about the current identity of journalists as a culture
-Why podcasting is different from writing for the page/screen
-Why talking about numbers can be difficult in audio
-How the internet will one day seem like an experiment gone completely awry
-Why you shouldn’t have satellite radio in your car
-Whether more individualized education is a a good idea
-The importance of people who are above average though not exceptional
This is a fun conversation, but it's also a useful one. It's hard to look at something that is believed to be understood and realize it's been misunderstood. Hell, it's hard to look at something that is believed to be understood and take seriously the idea that it might have been misunderstood.

01:26:06Panoply MedianoGrant Gordon is a political scientist and policymaker who specializes in humanitarian intervention. He’s a fellow at the Stanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation, and has worked on humanitarian and development policy for the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations, the UN Office of Humanitarian Coordination, the UN Refugee Agency, as well as the Rwandan Government, Open Society Justice Initiative and other organizations.
All of that is a long way of saying he works on the some of the world's worst problems and conflicts, and tries to figure out which interventions will actually help. He’s embedded with the Congolese military to try to understand why soldiers attack citizens, he's used satellites to monitor and deter genocidal violence in Darfur, and he's studied the ways in which peacekeepers can win hearts and minds with local communities in Haiti. And over and over again, he's found that good intentions do not always make good policies. It's a valuable lesson — and Grant is a valuable voice — for anyone who thinks seriously about policymaking.
Grant is also a good friend whose work has long fascinated me, and so it was great to get a chance to interrogate him on it for two hours. Among other things, we covered:
- How to read academic literature efficiently
- Grant’s path from being a kid in California to working in the Rwandan health ministry to hiding under cars in Congo
- What his whiteness and Jewish heritage means in his work on humanitarian policy
- How the politics around humanitarian intervention have changed since the 90s
- How and why he got an internship, as a college student, in the Rwandan health ministry by cold emailing Rwanda's health minister
- How randomized controlled trials do and don’t help humanitarian work
- Why it's actually difficult for a fragile society to build an army strong enough to protect its citizens but not so strong it overthrows the government
- How to care for yourself when you work in and out of conflict-torn places
And much more. Towards the end of the interview, Grant turns the tables and questions me for a bit, so keep an ear out for that.Grant Gordon is a political scientist and policym…Grant Gordon is a political scientist and policymaker who specializes in humanitarian intervention.

Melissa wasn't a designer. She wasn't a coder. She didn't manage designers or coders. She was, rather, a blogger, like me. But somehow, no one would meet with me to talk Wonkblog unless Melissa was also in the room.
It was my first exposure to Melissa's unusual talent for finding and connecting the different parts of a modern newsroom. We went on to start Vox together, and it's no exaggeration to say Vox simply wouldn't exist without Melissa's vision, her managerial brilliance, or her unerring sense of where journalism is going. She's also one of my very favorite people — working with her has been one of the highlights of my career.
Melissa was recently named publisher for all of Vox Media — so if you're wondering what's next in journalism, she's someone you'll want to listen to, because she'll be building it. In this conversation, we discuss:
-How Melissa started her journalism career in India
-Her experience working near the World Trade Center on 9/11
-What she learned from her time as a waitress, and how it was crucial to her development as a journalist
-Her pending case before the Indian Supreme Court
-How observing large institutions reveals how little information and control any one person really has
-How Bell thinks about “mapping out” organizations and creating informal networks within those organizations to get things done
-Why it’s hard to create new things in big organizations and how to create better systems for making those things
-How the distinctions between "old" and "new" media have largely collapsed
-What it was like starting Vox, and what we got wrong from the beginning
-How Vox's brand identity emerged, and why it proved more important than either of us expected

01:34:16Panoply MedianoI've wanted to do this interview for a long, long time.
Atul Gawande is a surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He's a professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard School of Public Health. He is executive director of Ariadne Labs, a joint center for health systems innovation, and chairman of Lifebox, a nonprofit organization making surgery safer globally. He's a New Yorker writer. He's the author of some of my favorite books, including Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance and The Checklist Manifesto. He's a MacArthur Genius.
Atul Gawande makes me feel like a slow, boring, unproductive person. What makes it worse is that he's a helluva nice guy, too. And he knows more new music than I do.
There haven't been many conversations on this podcast I've looked forward to more, or enjoyed as much. Among many other things, we talked about:
- How Atul makes ti together all of the writing, large-scale research, and surgery he does
- His time working in Congress and in the White House
- His writing process and how it’s evolved since his early days writing for Slate
- Why he hates writing and likes being edited (and why I am the exact opposite)
- His thoughts on ignorance, ineptitude, why we fail at things, and what hand washing has to do with it
- How effective Medicaid coverage is in improving health outcomes
- The ways we need to more effectively deliver existing knowledge and technology rather than always focusing on the next big discovery
- What he thinks we’ve learned so far from Obamacare
- How Rivers Cuomo from Weezer has applied lessons from Atul’s writing to his music
- His work with the Clintons, Jim Cooper, and Al Gore and thoughts on their private versus public personas
- How all the different parts of his life — the writing, the surgery, the policy work — come together into one single engine for actually making change
- What new albums he thinks everyone should listen to

01:15:48Panoply MedianoThis is a serious conversation with a very funny man.
Trevor Noah is the host of Comedy Central's the Daily Show. He's also a stand-up comic who grew up in apartheid South Africa, the son of a black mother and a white father. That was illegal in apartheid-era South Africa, so Noah grew up hiding his real parentage, only seeing his father in carefully controlled circumstances. Somehow, he managed to turn this into a very funny, very incisive stand-up act.
Today, he occupies one of the commanding heights of American comedy, and when you talk to him, you can see why: he's funny, but he's also damn smart, with an outsider's perspective on America's very unique problems. In this conversation, we talk about:
- What it was like growing up biracial in apartheid South Africa
- Noah's experience watching South Africa’s post-apartheid truth and reconciliation commission, and what an American one might look like
- Noah's thoughts on the right to be forgotten on the internet
- How Donald Trump's superpower is his lack of shame
- The ways in which Obama’s presidency changed – and sometimes inflamed — the conversation about race over the last eight years
- What Obama does and doesn’t share with other Black celebrities in “transcending” race
- The parallels between experiencing catcalling and experiencing racism
- Noah's critique of both "objective" news sources, and biased ones
- Why Noah was taken aback by the response he got criticizing Bernie Sanders
- Noah's news diet, and why he doesn’t watch as much Fox News as you might think
- How Noah develops a joke, from start to finish
And much more. Enjoy!This is a serious conversation with a very funny …This is a serious conversation with a very funny man.

01:14:28Panoply MedianoYuval Levin has been called "the most influential conservative intellectual of the Obama era," and the moniker fits. As editor of National Affairs — in my opinion, the best policy journal going on the right — he's been at the head of the "reformicon" movement, and his work has had a heavy influence on top Republicans like Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. If you had asked me a year ago to name the conservatives likely to set the agenda for the Republican Party in 2016 and beyond, Levin would've been atop my list.
And then, of course, Donald Trump won the Republican nomination.
In this atmosphere, Levin's new book, Fractured America, reads like a warning. Written before "Make America Great Again" became the rallying cry of the Republican Party, it argues that both Democrats and Republicans were trapped inside a dangerous nostalgia, and tried to propose a way out. We talk about that way out in this podcast, as well as:
- How Levin defines the Republican Party, and how he thinks it’s changed with Trump
- Why Republicans misunderstand their own voters
- His distinction between the conservative movement and the Republican party
- Why he views Brexit and Trump’s rise as a kind of “counter-cosmopolitanism”
- The role of nostalgia in our current politics
- Why a universal basic income is the most interesting idea on the left today
- How the free market undermines cultural traditionalism
- The way in which we have cultural/moral arguments under the guise of debates about how efficient/effective policies are
- What Levin learned working for Newt Gingrich and George W. Bush
- Why you’d have to be crazy to want to be president

00:49:15Panoply MedianoMy interview this week is with Hillary Clinton. You may have heard of her.
I won't bore you with Clinton's bio. Instead, I want to say a few words about what this interview is, as it's a bit different than the EK Show's normal fare (though I do ask her for book recommendations!).
I got about 40 minutes with Hillary Clinton. I wanted to use that time to try to answer a question I've had about Clinton for years: why is the candidate I see on the campaign trail so different from the person described to me by her staff, colleagues, friends, and even foes? I wanted, in other words, to try to see what Clinton is like when she's working her way through policy and governance issues.
And so that's what we talk about. Among the topics we covered are:
- Extreme poverty, welfare reform, and the working poor
- Is it time for more deficit spending?
- Would more immigration be good for the economy?
- The difficulties of free college and universal health care
- What skills does a president need that campaigns don't test?
- What's on her bookshelf?
- Why America stopped trusting elites — and what elites should do about it

Yes, they've created a veggie burger that bleeds.
Patrick Brown is the CEO and Founder of Impossible Foods. His company is the Tesla of plant-based meat: they are trying to create a burger that carnivores will prefer to the thing cut from the side of the cow. And they've got some big backers in that effort: Brown has hundreds of millions of dollars from investors including Bill Gates and Google.
I sat down with Brown, a biochemist, to talk about the science and business of Impossible Foods. Among other things, we discussed:
- Why meat tastes like meat
- How to find the flavor of blood in plants
- The ways in which the company is mimicking Tesla's strategy for electric cars
- The environmental impact of meat, and how plant-based burgers compare
- What happens when you break down the individual flavors of your favorite foods
- What it means for a food to be "natural"
- Why the market for plant-based proteins hasn't developed many premium products
And much more. This episode is interesting even if you love your animal protein and will never, ever give it up: we're really talking here about the science of flavor, the business of food, and whether you can combine technology and marketing to change the most entrenched consumer behaviors of all.

- The lame presidency of The West Wing's Josiah Bartlet

01:00:39Panoply MedianoMy guest on this episode is Jesse Eisenberg — who you may know as Lex Luthor in Batman V. Superman, Mark Zuckerberg in the Social Network, or Daniel Atlas in the just-released Now You See Me 2.
I was apprehensive about this interview. I haven't interviewed many movie stars. But this turned out to be one of the most natural, easy, and interesting conversations I've had for the show. Eisenberg is a cerebral Jewish writer who sees the world through the lens of sociolology and has a lot of trouble relaxing. So we had a lot to talk about, including:
- Jewish humor and the dangers of assimilation
- How it's different to write for the page than the stage
- Whether Eisenberg has become happier as he's become more successful
- What he learned backpacking through China
- Why his family never takes vacations
- How he turns the tables on fans who stop him in the street
- Why he thinks it's easier to ask extremely personal questions of total strangers, and why it's worth doing
- How his training as an actor helps him understand Donald Trump

Otto Preminger, who hired Trumbo to write Exodus, might see it differently. In truth, the end of the blacklist was a process that took over a decade, and couldn’t have happened without actions taken by Charlie Chaplin, Gary Cooper, director Joseph Losey, and president John F. Kennedy. We'll talk about the connection between the end of the blacklist and the weakening of the production code, and what both had to do with the slow dissolution of the studio system amidst the rise of independent producers and a younger generation of audiences. Finally, we’ll discuss how those who had been blacklisted struggled to move on. How did the Blacklist come to an end? If you ask …How did the Blacklist come to an end?

In the early 1940s, shortly after skyrocketing to fame as a heartthrob crooner, Sinatra was perceived, and from some corners pilloried, as a draft dodger. Today we’ll talk about how Sinatra acquired that reputation, how it impacted his early career, and the early success which, as we’ll see next week, faded, and became something that Sinatra struggled to recapture, and couldn’t bear to let go of once he did so.

For the inaugural Deep Dive, Gretchen and Elizabeth revisit the great thank-you note debate. A listener asks a question about an over-eager mother-in-law. Elizabeth gives herself a demerit for some home remodeling clutter, and Gretchen gives herself a gold star for a strategy to help her daughter sprint to the end of junior year.

I spoke with Perez about his path to the Labor Department, the powers of the Secretary of Labor, the push for a $15 minimum wage, the future of unions, a universal basic income, and much more. Perez sees his role as pushing a new contract between the government, employers, and workers, and in this episode, we delve deep into that vision.
This is a policy-heavy conversation with arguably the most activist member of Obama's cabinet, and a leader who may be central to the next presidential administration, too. I think you'll enjoy it.

Miller and Kazan would remain estranged for a decade, until the latter directed a play written by the former which, while drawing headlines for its depiction of Monroe, also seemed to parallel their falling out over HUAC.

01:51:19Panoply MedianoLast year, Andrew Sullivan quit blogging — the medium he had done so much to create. And you know what? He was pretty damn happy about it. He was taking walks, meditating, exercising, reading, and generally living the good life. Of course, then Donald Trump just had to go and drag him back into the fray...
In this extremely, extremely fun conversation, I talked with Andrew about:
- His 10-day silent meditation retreat
- His central role pushing gay marriage from a fringe idea to a constitutional right
- What it was like being an HIV-positive writer during the height of the plague, and how the experience deepened his faith
- Why he believes in God
- Whether you can build a media business based off of advertising
- How his thinking on Obama has changed since 2008
- What he thinks is so unusually dangerous about Donald Trump
- Why a politics based on how people feel scares him
And much more. This is one of the most fun conversations I've had for this show. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

00:13:16Panoply MedianoHost Julie Lythcott-Haims and expert Amy Young talk about how the high stakes intensity of college admissions has trickled down to middle and high school admissions. Amy is the director of college counseling at Avenues, an independent school in New York City.
Julie mentions a new effort aimed to reduce the academic pressure and stress found in her own community of Palo Alto, CA. The city is distraught by its teen suicide rate-- four to five times the national average. The website, pathsfrompaloalto.com, was created by recent college grads who grew up there. "They're showing through blog essays, that people have happy successful lives going in all directions out of Palo Alto," says Julie.
Listener questions this week include a letter from a junior in southern California who suffered a head injury at a sporting event and it affected his GPA. He wonders how to present his case on college applications. And an eleventh grader, who moved to Arizona her junior year, asks if it's ok to get teacher recommendations solely from her previous school.

And it's frustrating because these features--fireplaces, ovens, pools, entire rooms--are often some of the biggest reasons we chose our homes in the first place. The Try This At Home this week is to utilize these features! Then Arianna Huffington joins us to tell you the scientific (and romantic!) reasons why you need to get more sleep. It will make you more joyful, more productive, and probably just a person you'd much rather be around. Finally, Elizabeth shares how she thinks she could be a better friend, and Gretchen gives a gold star to not 1, not 2, but 3 of her children's literature book groups!

Horne, an outspoken proponent of equal rights, who from the beginning of her career had associated with leftists and “agitators,” got caught up in the anti-communist insanity. One of those agitators was Paul Robeson, a singer, actor and political firebrand who was a mentor and friend to Horne. But once the red panic began to heat up, that friendship became problematic for Lena, and like so many others, she was forced to choose between her career and her friendships.

00:54:38Panoply MedianoThere is no budget wonk in Washington with a resume as thick as Alice Rivlin's. She was the founding director of the Congressional Budget Office. She was the director of President Bill Clinton's Office of Management and Budget. She was vice chair of the Federal Reserve Board. She was a member of the Simpson-Bowles Commission. She's co-authored policies with Paul Ryan, served as president of the American Economic Association, and, in 2008, was named as one of the greatest public servants of the last 25 years by the Council for Excellence in Government.
It's a helluva career.
In this podcast, I talk with her about that career, including:
- Why she became an economist in the first place
- How economists think about problems
- How a sexist senator almost blocked her appointment to the Congressional Budget Office, and how an angry stripper saved her nomination
- What the Congressional Budget Office does, and why it's so quietly powerful
- What she's learned working with Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Paul Ryan
- Why Washington's policy discussion has become more sophisticated in recent decades, and whether that's even a good thing
And, as always, much more. If you're interested in how policy is really made in Washington, you should listen to this interview.

01:25:40Panoply MedianoArianna Huffington is, of course, the editor and namesake of the Huffington Post, one of the true juggernauts of the new media world. But her path to that position has been a winding one.
She was a prominent conservative — and a confidante of Newt Gingrich — in the 1990s. Her first web site was actually dedicated to persuading Bill Clinton to resign from the presidency. The Huffington Post came later, and the stress of it nearly destroyed her. After fainting from exhaustion and seriously injuring herself, she embarked on a quest to reevaluate both her and America's attitude towards work, towards sleep, and towards wellness. The result, she says, has made her a better leader — and a more well-rested one.
Arianna and I also talk about:
- How she launched the Huffington Post
- Her strategy for persuading celebrities and experts to contribute to her site, often for free
- What she learned launching versions of the Huffington Post in 15 other countries
- How she knows when she's burnt out
- How Huffington Post reinvented itselffor the age of social media
- Why she doesn't believe in death
- Her favorite books

Arianna Huffington is, of course, the editor and …Arianna Huffington is, of course, the editor and namesake of the Huffington Post, one of the true juggernauts of the new media world. But her path to that position has been a winding one.
She was a prominent conservative — and a confidante of Newt Gingrich — in the 1990s. Her first web site was actually dedicated to persuading Bill Clinton to resign from the presidency. The Huffington Post came later, and the stress of it nearly destroyed her. After fainting from exhaustion and seriously injuring herself, she embarked on a quest to reevaluate both her and America's attitude towards work, towards sleep, and towards wellness. The result, she says, has made her a better leader — and a more well-rested one.
Arianna and I also talk about:
- How she launched the Huffington Post
- Her strategy for persuading celebrities and experts to contribute to her site, often for free
- What she learned launching versions of the Huffington Post in 15 other countries
- How she knows when she's burnt out
- How Huffington Post reinvented itselffor the age of social media
- Why she doesn't believe in death
- Her favorite books
And much more. Enjoy!

01:41:11Panoply MedianoYou could fill a podcast just reciting Robert Reich's biography. Rhodes Scholar. Assistant to U.S. Solicitor General Robert Bork. Director of policy planning at the Federal Trade Commission under Carter. Secretary of Labor for Bill Clinton. Candidate for governor of Massachusetts. Co-founder of the American Prospect (where I got my first job in journalism!). Member of Barack Obama's economic transition team. Author of bestselling book after bestselling book. Professor. Viral video star. Documentary maker.
More recently, Reich has emerged as perhaps the most persuasive (and, on Facebook, widely shared) surrogate for Bernie Sanders. It's a turn that likely would have surprised Reich's younger self — he worked with Hillary Clinton in college, was close friends with Bill Clinton at Oxford, and served Secretary of Labor during Bill Clinton's first term.
Among the topics Reich and I cover:
- His early relationship with the Clintons, including the time he went on a date with Hillary Clinton
- His effort to create an experimental, participatory alternative to college at Dartmouth
- The three policies he would change first to curb inequality
- The story behind his co-founding of the American Prospect — the magazine that gave me my first job in journalism
- What Bernie Sanders is like in person, and how that does or doesn't differ from his public persona
- How to communicate effectively about public policy
- Whether inequality or political polarization is the root cause of government dysfunction
- His relationship with his mentor, John Kenneth Galbraith
And there is, honestly, much, much more. Reich is, as you'll hear, an incredible storyteller, a sharp thinker, and a very fun guy to talk to, Enjoy!

00:43:27Panoply MedianoJudy Holliday won an Oscar for her first starring film role, and of her eight major film roles between 1950 and 1960, four were in films now considered classics. She was one star who was subpoenaed to testify about her ties to Communism who was fully supported by her studio and subsequently wasn’t blacklisted from movies. Holliday’s career was short-lived nonetheless, in part because she represented a highly idiosyncratic, working-class, urban, Jewish authenticity in a time when conformity was being peddled as an equivalent to safety.

But on this episode of the podcast, former federal judge Nancy Gertner explains why she thinks McDonnell should walk free.

00:13:57Panoply MedianoHost Julie Lythcott-Haims and Getting In expert Steve LeMenager answer listener questions.
Steve is the president of Edvice, a college counseling firm. He was previously a director of admissions at Princeton University.
Listener questions in this episode include one from a Michigan mom who wonders if the limits her daughter's high school places on the number of AP classes a student can take could affect her daughter's college admission chances. A student in the Netherlands and a mother in the US wrote in for advice on how to select an independent college counselor. And a mother in Virginia asks for advice on the kinds of schools her high achieving son should explore, because he "intensely dislikes an elbow-sharpening and competitive environment."

01:16:28Panoply MedianoWhen I first met Bruce Friedrich, he was running PETA's awareness campaigns. Yeah, those campaigns — the ones where naked people stuffed themselves in saran wrap and cages, and where wounded chickens limped outside KFCs.
He was also one of the smartest, most informed, and most thoughtful experts I'd found on animal suffering. He had immersed himself in a subject most of us — myself very much included — would prefer to ignore, and he had learned some surprising things, including that vegetarianism was probably worse for animal welfare than cutting out eggs but keeping beef.
Since then, Friedrich has become director of the Good Food Institute, as well as a founding partner in New Crop Capital, an investment fund that backs companies creating alternatives to animal-based protein. In this podcast, we talk at length about:
- Why you can't trust the humane labels on eggs
- Friedrich's path to becoming a food-tech investor
- Why Bill Gates and the Google founders are investing in lab-grown meat
- How the market for plant-based proteins has changed
- Why the all-or-nothing frame around vegetarianism is counterproductive
- Why eating eggs is much worse for animal suffering than eating beef
- Whether we can really solve global warming without looking at our food choices
And, of course, much more. This was, for me, a fascinating conversation that is already changing the way I eat. I hope it does the same for you.
